Quote: FleaStiffI don't think any woman has ever said "If you've got it, flout it"
"If you've got it, flaunt it." is correct.
But, "He flouted the rules." is a correct context for using the word flouted.

So 'The King and I' should really be
'The King and Me'?

I think both are incomplete sentences. As such, both are ok (or neither)...

Quote: WizardI'm going to ask a couple people about this whose opinion I respect on the fine points of English. One is a real stickler for the rules and doesn't buy into the concept that if a mistake is made often enough it becomes correct. The other is more down to earth and considers both the rules as well as what is clear to the reader. Stay tuned.
I was just about to say this when I read that you wrote it.
The English language evolves over time. If it didnt then we would still speak gibberish like Shakespeare. I argue with a co worker all the time about ending the sentence in a preposition. I will quite often end a sentence with at. I know it is not needed but it just happens. Like where you taking the car at. It is so common that you will hear it on TV shows and they have proof readers.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed.
